Well, the consensus is there is no way to stop the machine from halting
when the new keyboard is plugged in since the RS-232 serial specification
calls for a break to be sent as a "failsafe"
However, as everyone pointed out, the downtime can be minimized by typing
go at the ok prompt or c at the > prompt to continue. This may not work
100% of the time, so be warned...
